We put Dingux on Dingoo A320 from under Win, Mac and Linux for all types of screen loader

So, recently I received my long-awaited Dingoo and naturally I immediately wanted to try Dingux . At the request of dingoo fans, about the problems that I had to face and about their solution in order under the cut.

1. We will need the dingu itself. Where to get it for 50 bucks is written here . (they say there is no more there; who where will find cheaper, please write in the LAN)
   
   
2. If you already have a console, then this is not enough, you still need a miniSD card (up to 8GB recommended). It was for me one of the most difficult quests, I had to wait until the morning, while the shops opened.
   ')
   
3. Format the card in FAT32.
   
   
4. We download localpack (343.13 MB) (you can download it from any other place, by the link my personal, based on v0.35). Attention bonus! In / home / games you will find the legendary impassable Mario from this video.
   
   
5. Downloading dingux_dual_boot_installer_20110420 for ILI9338.zip (9.7 MB) There is a version for the new screen loader, in all the manuals I came across there was a link to the old installers.
   
   
6. Now we have to determine the type of your screen loader. We load the dinga, go to the settings, there is an about item and already in it we quickly type UP-RIGHT-DOWN-UP-RIGHT-DOWN. The screen should change and all sorts of inscriptions will appear, among them we need to find one of the following:
   1. ILI9338
   2. ILI9331
   3. ILI9325
   RECORD or REMEMBER!
   If you downloaded my localpack and you have the type of bootloader ILI9338, then you can skip the next step.
   
   
7. We download dingux_system_20091022_plus_ILI9338.zip (26.8 MB) from there we will need only one of the three files, don’t touch the rootfs, it goes with all localpacks. Find the zImage-ILI93xx corresponding to your bootloader, RENAME in “zImage” and replace it with a similar file in your localpack.
   
   
8. Now you need to copy localpack to the card, BUT, first copy 2 files rootfs and zImage and only then the rest. (Otherwise, the system will either boot up for a long time, or it will not boot at all). Total we get that in the root of the box there will be the contents of the localpack folder, namely 2 (3) files and the local directory.
   
   
9. Now we need to connect the console to the PC in the magic mode. To do this, we plug in USB, unmount all storage devices, for example, in my case:
   

   umount /dev/sdc umount /dev/sdd1 

   
   (under Windows, safely shutting down the device, under Linux you can use gparted)
   Now, without taking out the USB, we are going to look for a sharp little thread (a clip, a needle) and holding the knob B in the hole in our console - the screen should go off. Under Linux and Mac this should be enough, and under Windows you will need to update the firewood from the dingux_dual_boot_installer archive (device manager, etc. - there is Google, it's all simple)
   
   
10. Open the command prompt! Go to the unpacked folder dingux_dual_boot_installer
    and type the following commands, replacing ILI93xx in each row with your loaders :
    For Windows: (if it fails, try a virtual machine with windows XP)
    

     usbtool-win 1 hwinit_ILI9338.bin 0x80000000 usbtool-win 1 zImage_dual_boot_installer_ILI9338 0x80600000 

    
    For Linux:
    

     sudo ./usbtool-linux 1 hwinit_ILI9338.bin 0x80000000 sudo ./usbtool-linux 1 zImage_dual_boot_installer_ILI9338 0x80600000 

    
    For Mac:
    

     ./usbtool-osx 1 hwinit_ILI9338.bin 0x80000000 ./usbtool-osx 1 zImage_dual_boot_installer_ILI9338 0x80600000 

    
    
    
11. We read and poke (with the start button 1. continue 2. Yes 3. Dualboot. 4. Yes), there should be no problems. After the inscription SUCCESS press start and READY! Dingux is loaded by holding select while the console is loading.
    
    

On the Internet you can find many articles on this topic, but they are all to some extent incomplete. I hope this article will help you enjoy all the features of dingux.

UPD: I looked here, I didn’t die on my people (they still have to live for 45 days), once threw in the post: My pack of Russian roms dendy (37.3 MB) and sega (168 MB)

UPD2: I hasten to notice that my method from the developer’s manual (the manual is in dingux_dual_boot_installer ) is very strange if it doesn’t work for someone. But nevertheless, I wrote a good man on the soap ( ) and said that there might be problems with installing under Windows, so he recommended using another utility:

Then used the utility usb_boot.exe
Download the utility here.
tinyurl.com/y9y6rc6
To the utility, place your zImage_dual_boot_installer_ILI93XX
then read the readme on how to use the commands of this utility.
In Russian, it says the following:
0. Install the driver from the usb_boot_driver archive. The procedure is similar to
installing the driver described in this article.
1. Make a reset dinghy with the B button pressed
2. Run usb_boot.exe
3. type the following commands
boot 0
load 0x80600000 zImage_dual_boot_installer_ILI93xx 0
go 0x80600000 0
4. Then the flasher appears, and start the installation.
